Dates

how do you get the difference between two dates returned as year and number of months? (eg. years + month/12)

RE: Dates

Hi Jennifer

Thanks for your question.

I'm not sure you can get the difference between two dates to display as number of years and months - you can get the difference to display as one or other other as far as I know.

A function you might be interested in looking at in relation to your question is the DATEDIF (date difference) function. Here is a link to an article that provides some useful information on this function, including what error messages could come up when you use if and what they mean:

Excel tip:

LARGE and SMALL functions and their uses

Two of Excel's most common functions are the MAX and MIN functions which will display the largest (MAX) or smallest (MIN) value in a series. What if you need the 2nd or 3rd largest or smallest values instead of the largest or smallest?

The =LARGE(array,n) returns the nth largest value of a series.

The =SMALL(array,n) function returns the nth smallest value of a series.

In both functions, 'n' represents the order of the number you want to display. For example, putting in 2 as n will give you the second highest number; putting in 3 as n will give you the third highest number.
